摘要
Current dispersion effects have been experimentally investigated in a variety, of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure FETs with large signal and switching measurements including HEMTs with doped and undoped barrier layer, A range of dispersion frequencies from 10(-3) Hz to 10 GHz were observed, where the output current amplitude is drastically reduced. Through this effect the full channel charge of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure FET may be completely depleted under specific bias conditions. This indicates that this phenomena cannot be related to deep traps alone, hut is also connected to piezo related charge states and conduction to these states.
